“The Mighty Romeo” Still Standing

Me and my freind The Mighty Romeo

When the mighty Romeo took to the stage on the night of the Banks Cable and Wireless  vintage Cavalcade it was a significant achievement.
When it comes to surviving in the face of adversity Romeo is an excellent example of that.
Known as the love man of calypso his return to the calypso stage in 2008 is an example that regardless of the overwhelming odds once there is enough will you will succeed.
There have been two significant challenges that Romeo has survived.
In 2004 Romeo loss his home and all his worldly possessions to fire. All his pictures, calypso trophies were burnt in the blaze.
With the help of god and friends Romeo was able to recover from that fiery disaster rise from the ashes and stand again.

In 2005 Romeo faced his second challenge, little did he know that when he did a calypso some years before “Disabled people is people too” that he would have ended up in that position.
Romeo was suddenly afflicted by a condition that overnight reduced him to a cripple who was confined to a wheel chair.
With the support of his wife, family friends and with the help of God, he endured physical rehabilitation sessions and a 2 year break from the calypso stage.

On May 17th 2008  the Romeo has returned, he has risen from the challenges of his crippling physical affliction and he is standing again.
He truly deserves the title “The Mighty Romeo”.
